This will be my first attempt at growing here are the details:
Room: 5X4X3.5ft
Lights: 5 X 26W CFLs from Aerogarden
Air pump with 2 air stones
Fox Farm Nutrients (Big Bloom, Grow Big and Tiger Bloom)
PH up and PH Down
General Hydroponics PH test kit
Oscillating Fan + Heater
Reflective foil
Temp/Humidity monitor
Aerogarden grow sponges
I have all the materials ready to go seeds arriving Tuesday; I'll use the cup of water/paper towel method in an attempt to germinate 3 seeds. All germinated seeds will then be transferred to the Aerogarden with PH balanced water. I will be running a light cycle of 18/6 for the entire grow. I will also be adding a DIY C02 machine; I may run the C02 in front of the fan or try and run a loop around the Aerogarden light hood.
I will be following the foxfarm nutrients guide changing the water every week. I am prepared to do a half dose of the Big Bloom after week one and move to a three quarter dose (as per foxfarm) for week two and beyond. I will make a batch of water with the nutrients added to it and ph balanced which I will use to top up the Aerogarden as needed.
I have tested the area and with the lights on and the fan going the temperature is maintained around 75 degrees. As the temperature monitor tells me the max and min temperatures within the room I will soon learn if added fans to cool or the use of the heater will be necessary.
I'll do my best to give updates at least once a week or more.
Wish me luck and feel free to give any advice you may have
